In response the OP.
If you have a drug conviction, you can't get a home loan or a school loan. For a lot of kids coming out of school, entry level jobs are scarce and pay little. Things have changed a lot in the last 10 years with illegal emigrants working jobs for less money and Wal-Mart paying crap to employees that used to work at good paying stores before they were run out of business.
I don't think people want a check. People want opportunity, and that will take money. I for one would like to see music that's targeted at kids glorifying education and hard work.
In a lot of cases, it doesn't take that much money. Someone just needs to give a crap.
Prisons are an industry and they need customers. They have lobbyist too you know.
